Since mATX isn't the cheapest motherboards, this standart completly lost any reason, why it should be chosen.
@localtechexperts4 күн бұрын
There is very little price difference between MATX and ATX.. The cost mostly depends on the chipset and features of the board.. ITX motherboards you definitely pay a premium for the small form factor.

You put in almost rubbishiest components in existence and just say you wouldn't put in performance components without actually testing temperatures. It looks like impressively airflowed case that needs modular power supply and few case fans as well as ITX type CPU aircooler. And there are small quite powerful GPUs like RTX4060s. Low Profile under and single fan models under 190mm and even under 170mm .

Maybe reordering the sections of the video so it explains some reasons it may not be good to use these cards for gaming at the beginning may be good?
